Hello
I describe my problem with a simplified example: I have a thread, which
works with a buffer, and an ISR (or DSR), which would add some byte to
this buffer too, so it is a shared resource. Since it is unable wait for
a flag, or mutex in ISR, when the thread's code working with the buffer,
the interrupt can jam the data.
The only solution is to disable the interrupt for that critical section
in the thread? Isn't there a better solution?
I hope I was clear.
Thanks!

Well, you might block just this particular interrupt while messing around
in the DSR using cyg_drv_interrupt_mask(vector) and enable it after the
critical section using the correspoding unmask-routine. This would still
allow other interrupts to come through.
When a "normal" task accesses critical data that are also accessed by a
DSR use cyg_drv_dsr_lock() etc.....
Happy with this? Regards
Robert
